Map corrections

[sascha]

I'll just pull a Cato the Elder here and open yet another thread asking to finally correct some of the spelling errors on the map.

It's "Köln" - not "Koln". If you don't have Umlauts, there's two ways around this:

Either name it "Koeln" (correct form of getting around the Umlaut, ö = oe, ü = ue, ä = ae), or "Cologne".

No such thing as the Zoo Bridge in WW2-Cologne. That bridge was built post-war. The bridge near the central station should be the "Hohenzollern Bridge" and it should be a RR-bridge.

Also: Where's the cathedral? I know we have a generic cathedral in-game, so it would be nice to see it there.

Main RR-station is on the wrong side of the river - it should be W with the cathedral and the Hohenzollern Bridge right next to it.

Pic taken from the E side of the river, looking W. Hohenzollern bridge, cathedral and RR-station visible in this shot.

WW2 era pic:

Aerial shot of the W side, cathedral, RR-station and parts of the bridge visible.

Also: In relation to other large towns, Cologne is much too small in-game.

But enough of my local patriotism...

Some more stuff I've just looked up .. but I'm sure there are others.

"Oplade" should be "Opladen"

Monchen Gladbach" = "Mönchengladbach"

"Duren" = "Düren"

"Julich" = "Jülich"

"Hurtgenwald" = "Hürtgenwald"

"Neiderkruchten" = "Niederkrüchten"

"Bruhl" = "Brühl"

"Kurten" = "Kürten"

"Dusseldorf" = "Düsseldorf" (although being a native Kölner, I'm obliged to say: "screw Düsseldorf"

etc., etc.
